FA: Klay Thompson Comes to Dallas| 3yrs/50mil

[Winter]

While I'm in the camp that losing DJJ isn't going to be a significant setback, I don't think we'll be able to fully judge the defensive impact until playoff time.  If you look at his minutes in the playoffs they increased significantly because defensive intensity is so much more important.  Assuming he's healthy, I think Klay still brings enough defense that he can be effective, especially with Lively and Gafford getting more time in the system.  More importantly, if Klay is still effective offensively, dropping 3s at a 40% clip, then they don't need to be a top 5 defensive team to have a chance to win it all, top 10 will be enough.

Yes, playoffs are a different animal.
